"The Informatics Research Methodologies course should also be highlighted
for its innovation and excellence. It provides an outstanding opportunity for
students to get prepared for pursuing research in the field. I don't know of any
other institution where such a course is available to undergraduates; Edinburgh
students are privileged to have access to this course. Alan Frisch, UG3

This course does not deal in depth with the methodologies of
